Nov York Mail and Express.
The proper thing in girls this year is
dashing and straight and strong She
greets mankind with an impressive
stare as she strides along the street
with her chin in the dir, her shoulders
we'll back and her arms swinging to
and fro. This week settled it. The
opera brought society back, and the
proper girl came romping home with
flashing eyes and the ruddy glow OF
perfect health showing through the
nut brown tan of the summers cam
paign. The clinging girl with tender
eyes, the romantic girl with the yearn
ing glare, the domestic girl with the
purring voice, the brilliant girl
with her turgid French, the
smuggling girl with her artful
smirk and the girl who chung to the
skirts of mamma-they are gone.
They went away in q flutter with tim
orous screams at the snort OF the en-
CINE and the rush OF the hurley world.
Now they've come back, but they're
mot the same. Instead, there's an ar
my OF lofty, gay, intrepid, meddle-
some, dashing girls, who swagger
abroad with delicious feminine audac-
ity and who have brought the breeze
of the mountain top, the salty flavor
OF the oceans edge and the buoyant
air OF the Berkshire hills into the very
heart OF dirty, dusty and stale New
York. OF all the types that the
town has seen the girl OF to-day, with
her highbred look, her daring style
and winsome assumption OF manli-
ness, is far and away the most fetch
ing thing that the world at large can
chow.

Avoid the Sunless Room.

II there is in the house an available
southern room, that room should be
devoted to family use during the win
ter. In building houses we must per-
force have north rooms, unless the
house is one room deep and faces to
the south. Even then it would have
q northern side. North rooms are
tolerable in hot weather, but during
all the rest OF the year they are cheer
less and depressing. Many a person
is ailing, miserable, melancholy, who
doesn't know that sunless room is
the cause of his trouble. Let him
change to room where the sun pours
in allday long when it's beams arenot
hidden by clouds, and he will become
a new man. From a room thus warm
ed and vivified let him 90 hook to one
where the sun never shines and note
the difference. He will shrink from the
last apartment as from a prison cell
or tomb.

Combinations in Church Choirs.

Some queer combinations are met with
in church choirs, but few can boast so
strange an arrangement as that sport

New Haven, Conn. The soprano is n

ty summers. and is now welded TO her
second husband. The gentleman thus
honorcd plays the organ. while hus-
band No. l. who was divorced from the
soprano three years ago works the or

A Phenomenal Young Inventor.

A well known figure in the west end
is the young inventor, George Bucket.
who lives at Eighteenth and Market
streets. He is about 22 years old and
an upholsterer by trade. Mr.. Bucket
genius has been directed toward cleo
trical inventions, and he has succeeded
in creating some marvellous works in
that line. What he does not know
about electricity is not worth bothering
about. His inventions, when patent-
ed, will put Edison TO shame. One of
the most important of his creations is
a patent cooler. THIS is small iron
continuance, about the size of II wood
en- bucket, which throws out rays of
cold lust us stove radiates heat. II
Will freeze water in room during
summer time. and will prove price
less boon TO laborers in the hot sun,
who. can cool themselves by this in
strument.
Another one of Mr. Buckets inven-
tons is a patent electric whip. This
is so contrivcd that the driver. by
touching button on his seat, can form
circuit which will shock the horse
and urge him on. Still another patent
is coffin, which will forever preserve
n corpse in lfe-like state. Mr..
Bucket has clso improved the tcle-
phone so that the listener standing at
one end can see the person talking to
him. and also hear the loudest yell or
smallest whisper rs distinctly rs if the
speaker were at your elbow.
The latest invention made by Nh.
Bucket is an electrical apparatus to
quiet uncomfortable maniacs in asylums.
Other inventions are soon promised 10
the public by tins young man. He is
at present searching for capital to back
him. and saws that he will make the
man millionaire who will properly
encourage and set them before the
world. Louisville Courier-JourRdl,

Value of Meat.
ID Housekeeping.

From Good Housekeeping.
The belief in meat is ubiquitous with
The Anglo-S Saxon. No one can be
strong without meat, it is asserted.
"Many people seem to look upon
meat almost as though it formed the
only food that really nourished and
supplied what is wanted for work, q"
says DR.. Pavy, in his work on Food
and Dietetics." Undoubtedly. a
greater feeling OF safety is produced
by meat than any other food. 1t
forms a greater stay to the stomach;
but this arises from the stomacn's
constituting the seat OF its digestion,
and a larger time being occupied be-
fore it passes on and leaves the organ
in an empty condition. The meat fall
acy is disproved by the fact that the
Sikhs of the Punjaub are pulse eaters.
The Italian lives almost solely on
maize and macaroni. The dreaded
Iroquois were cultivators of maize, as
well as hunters. The Spaniard MUNICH.
es his onion and dips his crust OF
bread in oil. The Kaffir, like the
Kirghis, lives mainly on milk; as did
the Cymri when Cesar invaded Brit
ain. The Brahmin prefers the bana-
ma. The Hindu, the Chinese and the
Japanese find their CHIEF sustenance
on rice.

Tho Fire Flend.

Sometimes when our houses take
fire and burn down, we are at loss
to account for it's origin, and lay the
blame on some tramp, whereas the
causes OF fire are almost innumerable.
Look out for the rags used around
your oil stove and lamps. If saturat-
ed with kerosene and tucked into a
rag bag q fire may ensue
from spontaneous combustion. As
for matches there is no end to
the number OF accidents that may
come from a careless use ofthem. One
house caught fire from arat dragging
match, across the floor to his hole.
Children should be impressed with the
fact that fire cannot burn without air,
that it blazes more brightly in the
wind, while it will grow dull il the air
is kept away. They can be shown
how q burning cloth or paper can be
extinguished by being crushed in an
old piece OF carpet or rag, since it is by
illustration rather than by simple tell
ing that such facts can best be impress
ed an their minds, and stories told
them of persons who have saved their
clothing from burning by such means.
Especially should they be charged not
to run in case OF their clothing catch.

ascending flames may burn face and
eyes, but rather to lie down and cry
for help, in the meantime extinguish-
ing the flames in the manner above
described, if possible.

Philadelphia Shocked.

A telegram to the New York Herald
from Philadelphia, Pa, says Plladel.
phia society feels relieved. DR.. Lloyd
Horwitz, the son OF DR.. Horwitz, Of
Walnut street, having accepted the
alternative OF going to prison, is now
securely confined in Kirkbride's luna
tic asylum. Through the wealth and
standing OF his father he obtained en-
tree into the best society ofthe city on
" tobecome noted for his kleptomaniac
habits. At social gatherings or during
private calls where he was present
something was sure to be missed. His
last robbery was taking a sealskin
sacque and some diamonds from
fashionable boarding house at 10th
and Spruce streets. The landlady
and the fair owner OF the stolen arti-
ccles insisted on a criminal prosecu-
ton, but the father interposed and
secured his incarceration MS q lunatic
instead. Now that he has reached
the end of his rope it is expected
that many complaints will be made
against him, so as to prevent his re-
peating any such escapades in the
future should he recover from his
"malady."

The Brood Mare as q Nurse.

The American Rural Home.
Farmers do not, as a general thing,
consider whether a mare, nursing a
colt, secretes enough milk to satisfy
its healthful wants. The following
from the National Live Stock Journal
contains some good suggestions:
Very rapid growth in the case OF the
young colt Is not desirable. The
question is one OF building up tissues
that will be in fit condition for future
wear and endurance. Different entire

Double Windows,

If those who have not used double
windows in our cold northern climate

and in colds, they would be induced
to try them, at least on north and
and northwestern exposures. Most
houses are so constructed that one
sitting near a window is in danger of
draughts and takes cold unconscious.
ly. Then, too, the cold air coming in
all about the windows requires large
supplies of coal to warm it. These
cevices about the windows give ven
tilation, to be sure, and so have their
advantages, but hinged panes in the
upper sashes of the outside windows
win give ample ventilation, and also
notify one sitting near there ofthe en-
trance OF cold air, so that he can
avoid it.
